Top Gear USA Q&A, With Adam Carolla Options

[Supersprynt]

Apparently Adam Carolla, Eric Strommer and Tanner Foust (whoever those 2 are) will be hosting the new version of Top Gear for the USA.

• The NBC adaptation will follow the BBC format: guest segment, stunt, test drive and, yes, the Stig (casting for that crucial role is still pending).

• The premiere episode will feature a race from Las Vegas to San Francisco, ending in a “mammoth stunt.” (NBC isn’t insisting on copycat stunts or episodes, a la Season One of The Office.)

• Carolla is pushing for an on-air drive of the just-unveiled BMW M1 Homage concept as soon as it’s available, as well as the Aston Martin DBS (though that would be a reprisal of a Clarkson drive).

• Clarkson and Carolla recently met face-to-face, but Carolla promises to focus more on improv than the heavily-prepared Clarkson.

• Officials from Top Gear in England, who are producing the show, along with “everyone involved,” have assured Carolla that he will be able to speak his mind on any car “without fear of reprisal” from advertisers, which he fully plans to do.

IMO this show won't come close to the satirical and comedic level that the original contains. Glad to see they won't just be advertisements to the cars and may actually have something honest to say about American cars. Scared for this show I am.

Oh yea. BBC top gear is awesome.

Why would NBC try copy it. It will never work
